6 GBP

By Arthur Machen Alma Matters 2014

The maiden release from Alma Matters is an updated edition of the long out of print supernatural tale 'The London Adventure or The Art of Wandering' (1924) by Welsh mystic Arthur Machen (1863 – 1947). Composed as a phantasmagorical walk through London, the book chronicles Machen’s attempt at writing a fictional book called 'The London Adventure', only for the project to gradually disintegrate as the author becomes obsessed with its elusive genesis. A treatise on writing and the urban environment, Machen playfully leads readers nowhere and everywhere.
